Habitat for Humanity’s Flathead chapter has repurposed part of its ReStore building for the production of prefabricated homes, boosting productivity and cutting costs.
The big warehouse-like room that sits in the rear of the ReStore previously housed donated appliances, but Executive Director MaryBeth Morand decided the sheltered space, removed from cold Montana winters, would be better used by volunteers working on future homes.
Fitted with a donated industrial saw and large table, Morand says the room is purposed to construct walls in a comfortable, heated and controlled environment.
